This week, our expat financial services expert Brian Spence explains why PE ratios are so important in managing your investment portfolio. It hardly needs to be said that your aim as an equities investor should be to buy low and sell high. Assessing whether a stock is trading at fair value based on its merits – or is over or under-valued – is a key part of making the right investment calls.

Nguyễn Danh Huy,general director of the transport ministry’s Public-Private Partnership Investment Project Management Department, speaks toTuổi trẻ (Youth) newspaper about measures to attract investors to participate in BOT projects. Resolution 20 lays out plans for building certain sections of the North-South expressway in the east during the 2017-20 period. Why has it increased the rate of owner’s equity for investors participating in the project from 15 per cent to at least 20 per cent of the total investment capital? In principle, as the owner’s equity rate is higher, it is easier for credit institutions to provide capital for the project. But it would also lead to an increase in investment costs for the project as the benefit ratio of the owners’ equity will be higher than the interest rate of banks. In financial terms, this rate of owners’ equity of investors is called the financial leverage ratio. The 20 per cent increase … [Read more...] about Clarity needed to lure investors in BOT projects

Vietnam’s development record over the past 30 years is remarkable. Economic and political reforms under the Doi moi policy, launched in 1986, attracted foreign investment to the country, which in turn led to sustained GDP growth reaching an average of 6 per cent annually and deeply transformed Vietnam. It is now one of the fastest-growing economies of Southeast Asia. Foreign investors are particularly attracted by low manufacturing costs and an emerging middle class in the national population. This economic momentum is served by the willingness of Vietnamese authorities to develop an efficient market economy, which is reflected in the attractive tax rates for companies in some sectors and the (quasi) elimination of import/export trade barriers and tariffs against ASEAN nations and other countries, such as Japan, China, and South Korea. Vietnamese authorities remain eager to further open the national economy to foreign investment, as evidenced by Vietnam’s active role in the … [Read more...] about M&As become the path of choice for investors
